first debate

      The production and sale of cigarettes should not be legally prohhibited. Although they can do damage to ones health, it is that person's right to have the freedon to choose that for themselves. It is pointless for the gonvernment to be that involved in a person's life to tell them to quit. If the sale and production was prohibited cigarettes would ultimately be another drug on the street and the government might as well make money off of people choosing to smoke anyway with the taxes. To most people smoking is not something they do many times a day, it is a therapeutic stress relief and if they were prohibitted that person would lose his or her fall back during a stressful situation. No one should have their right to choose between smoking and not already decided by the government.
